Question for the pale girlies:
How do you get your makeup to match your neck without washing you out? Do you put something under your foundation to make it look more like skin?

- #1 is Patrick Ta in 4 golden.
- #2 is Patrick Ta foundation in 4 golden with a hint of blue mixer and a pinch of red mixer (RCMA cream mixer palette) to make it less yellow

#1 looks good against my neck but I find it washes me out and looks too light with a flash. In general, in most lighting, I find that it ages me and makes me look a little sick. I need to use alot of cheek products to make it work.
#2 makes me look more alive and I find it more flattering on my aging skin (33) and it looks perfect in flash photography, but it looks a bit too dark against my neck.

- #1 is Patrick Ta foundation in 4 golden with a hint of blue mixer and a pinch of red mixer (RCMA cream mixer palette)
- #2 is Patrick Ta in 4 golden just as is.

My dilemma is that the foundation shade itself is a great match when compared to my neck in natural light, but I feel like it ages me and washes me out. (It’s not bad in this photo, but in general I’ve been feeling not the best about it in various lighting). And with the flash it is definitely looking too light. When I mix some red and blue in it (#1 photos), I feel like the shade is much more flattering and I look younger and more alive. It also matches perfectly with my neck in flash photography. However, it looks orange in daylight next to my neck.

Any tips?
I suppose I just wanted to know which one is better on me.

Seeing Hunter Schafer in Euphoria season 3 is sending me down a rabbit hole of facial dysmorphia, literally considering surgery for the first time.
It seems like almost every time we get a beautiful female celebrity with hooded eyes to look up to for inspiration, they end up getting some form of eye or brow surgery. Emma stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Zoe Kravitz, just to name a few. Can people please share some beautiful makeup looks on hooded eyes, so we can all feel inspired?

Im looking for this kind of matte greyish neutral purple colour eyeshadow. Preferably not one that comes in a huge palette. (Something that can fit in an average sized makeup bag)

Something buttery that blends well.

Any suggestions?
